Despite all the news about Google Book Search formerly known as Google Print, I hadn't bothered to check it out until ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
river2sea72 mentioned it. Out of curiosity, I keyed in some thoughts that had been running around in my head these last few days (and my own name, but that turned up nothing). Based on these results, I think Google Book Search could be a success because I found a couple of books I'd be interested in buying.
"impatience is a virtue"
overreacting mothers
"moving to London"

For me, impatience is a virtue, and patience a vice, since patience is so often an excuse for inactivity.

Impatience is a virtue and I get a little more angelic every day I live this shit.

overreacting mothers
It's possible we devote most of our lives to fulfilling the craving for a positive self image. How often do we find ourselves: overreacting at even the hint of criticism?
~Buddhism for Mothers by Sarah Napthali
Overreacting when your child does something bad can be a natural part of parenting. Often this stems from fatigue, stress, and the belief that you should be able to keep your child from doing bad things; and that if she does bad things, it's because you're a bad parent. It is helpful to remember that one person can't really control the actions of another.

"moving to London"
The two main reasons given for moving to London were to take up a job and to enter higher education; a few women moved either with a man or to join a man in London and then looked for a job after they arrived.

At lunchtime we Japanese staff sometimes went to a Chinese restaurant in the East End, where we would be less conspicuous - we weren't really supposed to go to cheap low-grade places like that. I was told before moving to London that Senior Clerks like me should make sure we ate at restaurants with proper tablecloths.
